Today’s final post is a morality tale. It is a tale of an annoyed editor and a newby writer who should have known better.
The setting: Editor is cleaning out her office. There comes a time when “organized disorder” becomes plain old disorder and you have to do something about it. It’s been over a year [...]

My enviable dilemma for the evening is to either watch another episode of my new favorite show, The Dresden Files on SciFi (via Itunes), or read more of Austenland, by Shannon Hale (I managed to grab an ARC at ALA Midwinter). I must say, this show is awesome. Harry Dresden is a wizard. A wizard [...]

This has made me giggle every time I’ve seen it for the last … SIX years. That’s how long it’s been since I worked at the trade magazine in Chicago where this was in a trade publication the magazine received. That’s how funny this ad is.
If you can’t read the text under the photo, this [...]

I just got to give a tour to
howardtayler
(of Schlock Mercenary) and
sandratayler
and their awesome kids. They’re in town for the Emerald City Comicon–which is this weekend, if it somehow slipped your memory, so if you’re going, stop by the Blank Label booth to talk to them.
All the kids knew so much about making books that I didn’t have [...]

Thanks to everyone who gave me ideas in the last thread. You’re all thinking about what I was thinking, and you gave me some great examples.
I’m done, done, done with my last apartment. Got my vacuum back (though not my broom and dustpan) and got the kitchen clean. Done. Never going to live in an [...]

Just a quick drive-by to say that there will be no post of substance today because ARRRgh and GRRRRR, my old apartment complex totally sucks. Went back tonight to finish the last of my cleaning and take out my vacuum and cleaning supplies. And when I arrived, they were gone.
Just how does a person assume [...]

Does anyone out there–teachers, librarians, writers, readers–remember the Endless Quest books? Anyone out there read them as a kid? If so, can you shoot me an email at stacy l whitman AT gmail DOT com, or just comment here? (take out the spaces, of course)

I’ve started a mirror blog at http://slwhitman.blogspot.com just as an experiment. I’m not sure why. Mainly I hoped to try out Windows Live Writer and its ability to post to two blogs at once. I thought I might post to my MySpace blog at the same time as my Livejournal, but I can’t seem to [...]

I can totally see my coworkers doing something like this. We’re a quirky bunch, as you can imagine–I mean, really, what do you expect when you work in a whole company of gamers and book nerds? Book nerds… ah, that’s why:
Thanks to Fuse #8 for the link.

Anybody have experience with both of these? I can’t use LibraryThing’s widgets on my LJ because they’re javascript. Goodreads.com’s widget is HTML, but appears to be too large for my sidebar. At least both of them lets you import and export Excel files–I was able to export the 150-something books(that I’d entered painstakingly by hand) [...]
